Need food on that airline flight?

Since many airlines don't do a real good job of feeding you on flights, you often have to fend for yourself. One option is from a company called GoPicnic where you can purchase boxed meals online and take them with you. They offer light Break Meals, snackbox Go Meals, MightyMunch Kids Meals, and substantial Picnic Meals. Here's what they say about themselves:

GoPicnic's founders developed the concept of the shelf-stable picnic meal in 2004 for a major US airline whose existing buy-on-board fresh food service program was costing it millions of dollars annually due to high levels of waste from unused meals as well as incremental personnel expenses stemming from the need for in-flight food preparation. The shelf-stable snackbox solution that the GoPicnic founders created to address these issues generated profit for the airline for the first time in its food service history and provided customers with a reliable quality product at a good value. Recognizing the many benefits such shelf-stable "picnic" meal programs could bring to a wide array of other industries, the GoPicnic founders expanded on the original concept, making nutritious high-quality shelf-stable meal solutions available to new markets and clients.

I think it's a great idea. Check them out and if you buy any of these meals, give us your thoughts by posting a comment.
